QPR look set to sign Yang Min-hyeok on loan until the end of the season from Tottenham, according to sources close to the deal.

The 18-year-old winger joined Spurs from Gangwon FC in South Korea in January but has yet to make a senior appearance under Ange Postecoglou.

Yang has been an unused substitute in several games this season.

Marti Cifuentes' QPR are 13th in the Championship table.

Asked about a loan move for Yang at his news conference on Wednesday, Ange Postecoglou said: "He's very young and we feel he needs to be allowed to settle.

"With our current situation, the last thing I want to do is throw in another young player.

"He's obviously a long-term investment for the football club and we've got to do the right thing by him."
